(loaves) seem to split and explode when they are in the oven... and =
when
cut they are really dense...=20

I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Judging by your post=20
oups.com
you are refreshing your starter too warm/too long, and overdeveloping
you sponge in the same way. Also your second rise, compared to the
first may be too short. One may guess that your dough loaves did not
rise very much before you baked them.

Which instructions are you following? Either they are really bad, or =
you
are not paying attention.
